Abstract

A composite styled wheel includes a metallic disc (24) and rim (26) adapted to receive a tire thereon, and a plastic ornamental overlay (44) comprising a body of an elas­ tomer material permanently adhesively affixed to said disc and rim and exposed to view from the outboard side of said wheel. The disc has a central aperture (28) and wheel bolt holes (36) therein and a retainer (60) is secured to the out­ board face of the disc and has a wall (65) encircling the disc holes which separates the overlay material from the bolt circle area (64) of the disc. The overlay material engulfs the retainer wall and thereby hides the retainer from view and assists in securement thereof to the disc. The overlay is cast and cured against the disc with the retainer pre­ secured thereto. The disc outboard surface is provided with nubbins (92) for snap-in retention of the retainer on the disc.
